the excitement which is sure to

ercise to much caution in arriving
at a lull understanding of the
rules and conditions governing
the Contest.

Second —All remittances and
votes mailed afternoon Wednes
day, Dec. 22nd, should bear a
special delivery stamp.
Third —All remittances should
be addressed to the Auto Club
Department and not to individuals.
